@roberta591 I can't play the sims 3 on my HP Pavilion but it works for the sims 4 and my other pc games but not the sims 3. I really like playing the sims 3 but I can't play it on my new laptop

@Annmarie2444  Does the game install but won't run?  Is your laptop new or just new to you? It would help if you post your computer's dxdiag as there are many versions of the HP Pavilion. First guess is you may not have enough free space of your primary storage device (hard drive or ssd).

      @Annmarie2444 Did you create an Origin account? Does the game icon appear in the library in Origin? Are you trying to install from disc?
